Nearly all net-positive interstate migration in the US is to the worst states in the country, make it make sense

What we *should* be doing is acknowledging that nearly every red state is a failed state and unpacking why that is and emulating what the blue/purple states are doing

And before anyone references cost of living, look, I get it—I too have lived through some extremely economically precarious years—but that doesn't change the fact that if you're moving to a wildly affordable state the chances that it is *also* a wildly shitty state are very high.

My state is one of the best in every metric, so desirable that Granite Staters regrettably try to convince folks not to move here, including by lying about the state (particularly Manchester). And yes, it's expensive. It *also* has too few people for the number of jobs available.

*** Ontario Virus Update | May 24 ***

Hospitalizations due to COVID have increased from 34 to 38 in the last update. Influenza hospitalizations decreased from 57 to 51 and RSV decreased from 33 to 20. 🧵1/

Looking at age groups, those age 75+ had the highest rates of hospitalization due to COVID but decreased since last update. Second place is age 65-74 which increased, and third place is age 0-4 which also increased. 2/

COVID case rates were fairly stable across age groups this past update except for age 80+ which had a significant decrease but still maintain the highest rates. The 0-4 and 60-79 age groups currently have similar rates. 3/

The Prophet ﷺ Said:

"Most of those in my Ummah who die after Allah has already written their destiny die because of the evil eye."

Meaning:

https://twitter.com/piousdeenn/status/2051321986333519890

Allah has already decreed their time, their cause, & their death, but they die because of the evil eye meaning due to harmful looks, envy, and jealousy, as a cause by Allah's permission. (Sahih Al Jami 1206)

Evil eye is a real and dangerous cause

The Prophet ﷺ clearly taught that:

envy is not smáli a simple look filled with jealousy can harm it can even lead to serious illness or death

And this is confirmed in authentic narrations from Sahih al-Bukhari

Given the current trend of AI podcast videos, I have decided to create one entirely using AI.

AI PODCAST VIDEOS

There are 3 Main Types of AI Podcast Video
1. Full AI Generation
2. Hybrid AI Podcast
3. Face Swap Podcast

The video I uploaded here is hybrid, I will write & post an article here on X explaining all three types and how to make them.

For now, here is a general guide on how to create an AI podcast.

Here's a step by step Guide 🧵: Making AI podcast videos

https://x.com/imrollandex/status/2058517627828383779

Phase 1: Visual Assembly

Source the Base: Start with high quality reference frames (like the original Ronaldo podcast screenshots).

AI Alteration: Use an image generation tool to modify the scene. In this case, in painting or prompting an AI avatar to replace the human interviewer while keeping the environment intact.

Phase 2: Audio & Scripting

Scripting: Write a sharp, engaging script formatted with clear speaker labels and emotional cues.

Voice Generation: Produce the audio tracks. Use a clean text to speech preset for the AI avatar and a cloned voice model (using short audio samples) for the celebrity guest.

you can use ElevenLabs.

If I lost everything and had to rebuild my income with AI in 2026…

I wouldn’t chase startups.
I wouldn’t buy another course.
And I definitely wouldn’t spend 6 months “preparing.”

I’d build digital attention assets powered by AI.

Here’s the exact roadmap I’d follow:

1/ Pick a niche where money already flows.

Bad niches chase likes.

Good niches attract buyers.

Focus on markets where people already spend:
• AI
• finance
• business
• fitness
• luxury
• career growth
• software
Attention is worthless without purchasing power.

2/ Study what already dominates attention.

Most people create random content and pray.

Smart creators reverse-engineer:
• viral hooks
• thumbnails
• post structures
• pacing
• emotional triggers
Virality is rarely random.

FOUR 𝗕𝗜𝗚 SINS TO BE ALWAYS AVOIDED!

1: Riya (Show off)

He who lets the people hear of his good deeds intentionally, to win their praise, Allah will let the people know his real intention (on the Day of Resurrection), and he who does good things in public to show off and win the praise of the people, Allah will disclose his real intention (and humiliate him).

Sahih al-Bukhari 6499

2: Hasad (Jealousy)

Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated that Allah's Messenger() said: "Avoid envy, for envy devours good deeds just as fire devours firewood."

3: Leave Salah (Prayer) Intentionally

But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil.

Quran 19:59

I think the thing I struggle most with social media (being likely an autist), is that I show up as myself, and I often get a lot of grief for it. I’m way less curated than other folks who show up to talk about mental health or social issues. There’s an expectation of folks who

show up as a helper/healer to be perfect & have it all figured out. I personally want to work with people who want to be human with each other. I want to connect on an energetic level to really offer support & comfort. For me authenticity means more than showing up with

a mask on (figuratively of course, wear a respirator mask!) and projecting competence. As a helper/healer I show up as a human who is curious and willing to hold space for someone else’s pain. I believe we heal in community. Healing happens when we feel accepted for who we are

Don’t wait until the day itself - prepare now.

Before the Day of Arafah arrives, prepare your du’a list.

Here is a list of du’as:

Before Arafah arrives, prepare your du’a list - don’t leave your heart empty on this day when du’as are most beloved.

Here is a list of du’as you can focus on:

1. Forgiveness

1. أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
Astagfirullah wa atubu ilayh
I seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him.

2. رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ
Rabbi ighfir warham wa anta khayrur-rahimeen
My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of those who show mercy.

3.اللهم اغفر لي ذنوبي كلها، دقها وجلها، أولها وآخرها
Allahumma ighfir li dhunoobi kullaha, diqqaha wa jillaha, awwalaha wa akhiraha.
O Allah, forgive all my sins, the small and the great, the first and the last.

#Thread | Every plate carrier (almost) used by the indian army
[1/30]

Note:
Even after decades of use the IA still doesn't have any standard plate carrier in service.

In most cases the CO make the call for procurement then the team will reach local big garments shop and place the orders.

This causes quality issues and non standardization

Thanks to This identity crisis of personal protection gear caused by The chaos of decentralized buying of the indian army we have many type of plate carrier in service

Enjoy the thread, it's going to be a long read

🚨 BREAKING:
Parkinson's disease may begin in your GUT — not your brain.

Peer-reviewed science now shows gut changes can precede motor symptoms by 10–20 YEARS.

And a deficiency in specific B vitamins may be driving the damage.
Thread 🧵👇

Before the tremors. Before the diagnosis.

Researchers consistently find these GI symptoms in people who later develop Parkinson's:
❌ Chronic constipation
❌ Delayed stomach emptying
❌ Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
❌ 'Leaky gut.'

This isn't a coincidence. It's the disease.

Here's the bombshell:
α-synuclein — the toxic protein that kills dopamine neurons in Parkinson's — is found in GUT neurons FIRST.

Scientists believe it travels from the gut → up the vagus nerve → to the brain.

Parkinson's may literally climb from your stomach to your brain.

the five-second epistemology of: fuck the troops. Defund the VA. Make them use Kaiser Permanente.

Angela named the architecture.

The evangelical disney world is the platform. The empire is the principal. The empire writes the checks and signs the contracts. The empire’s territory has never been touched. The proxy takes the discredit, the dead, and the headlines.

This is the charade. This is the design.

—

The proxy is the absorber.

The evangelical disney world was built to absorb the criticism that would otherwise hit the empire’s military. The empire constructed the proxy precisely so the empire could project power without absorbing the political cost of projection.

The criticism lands on the proxy. The proxy’s prime minister becomes the focus. The proxy’s settlers become the focus. The proxy’s flag becomes the focus. The empire stays clean.

The Spanish-speaking world reads this from the outside. The kitchen reads this from the inside. Same architecture.

—

What the system wants you to attack.

Criticize Lindsey Graham. Criticize Netanyahu. Criticize the evangelical disney world. Say: our soldiers are dying for nothing and that breaks my heart. Say: bring our heroes home. Say: the constitution is being violated.

The system has prepared rebuttals to all of these. The system has columnists employed to absorb all of these. The system is fine with all of these.

These are the approved attack surfaces.

—

What the system does not want you to talk about.

The military is a welfare program with rifles.

The military is a paid boot camp.

The veterans who succeed open CrossFit gyms or start security companies. The ones who do not succeed sit at home on VA benefits they would never qualify for as civilians.

Most troops served four to six years on a base in Louisiana or Texas or Kentucky and now claim PTSD. Everything is a disability now. Nobody questions it at the VA.

A civilian with the same claims would be told to apply for SNAP and find a job.

The military is the path to permanent disability income for people who would otherwise be told to get a job.

The system does not want you to say any of this.

—

The veteran economy.

The ones who succeed open the CrossFit gym or the security company. They are the visible success cases. They are also the cases that prove the military trained them for nothing except discipline and a network.

The ones who succeed do not generally hire other veterans. They hire civilians. They learned in the military that most of the other people in the military are not employable in the civilian economy at the rate the military pretends they are worth.

The ones who do not succeed go to the VA. The VA processes claims with a friction coefficient calibrated for political cover, not for medical accuracy. The friction is low when the claim is PTSD. The friction is low when the claim is tinnitus. The friction is low when the claim is sleep apnea. The friction is low when the claim is back pain.

The friction is low because the political cost of denying a veteran is higher than the actuarial cost of paying the veteran.

The VA is full because the political incentive points to fullness.

https://x.com/donaldgorbachev/status/2058379441349255394

The civilian comparison.

A civilian with chronic back pain, tinnitus, sleep apnea, and stress symptoms does not get a monthly check. A civilian with those conditions is told to file with private disability insurance, navigate the appeals process, and probably lose.

A veteran with the same conditions gets a service-connected disability rating, a tax-free monthly payment, and lifetime VA medical care.

The conditions are the same. The verdict is different. The verdict is the welfare program. The verdict is not the medical evaluation.

—

The immigrant veteran reads it correctly.

Many of the immigrants and undocumented entrants who come to the empire and sign up for the military are people who served in actual militaries in smaller countries before they arrived. They have real combat experience. They have served under conditions where survival was not guaranteed.

These soldiers look at the empire’s military and conclude: this is a bunch of guys playing with toys. The empire’s military is weak sauce. The empire’s military has good equipment, decent food, and the cultural posture of a serious fighting force without the actual discipline or experience of a serious fighting force.

The empire’s military is structurally an under-tested force with a maximum cultural reputation.

The structural transition Iran imposed on the empire over eighty-six days is the test the empire’s military has been avoiding.

—

The cultural ratchet.

The veteran discount at the coffee shop. The flag flyover at the Super Bowl. The “thank you for your service” reflex at the airport gate. The veterans-get-priority sign at every government office. The hero framing on every newscast about every casualty.

This is the cultural ratchet that holds the proxy structure in place.

You are allowed to criticize the politicians who deploy the military. You are not allowed to criticize the military. You are allowed to criticize the war. You are not allowed to criticize the warriors. You are allowed to want the troops home. You are not allowed to ask why the troops exist.

The ratchet only turns one way. The ratchet is the architecture.

—

Constitutional arguments are paper.

The system is fine with constitutional arguments because constitutional arguments are made on paper. The paper does not move troops. The paper does not stop deployments. The paper does not defund the VA.

The paper is the safety valve.

The actual moves: stop calling them heroes. Stop standing for the anthem. Stop thanking them for their service. Stop offering them discounts. Defund the VA. Make them get their healthcare from the same system everybody else uses.

The welfare program with rifles.

The military takes the people who could not get a job in the civilian economy, gives them three meals a day, healthcare, a uniform, a chain of command, and a culture of meaning. The military then asks them to absorb the geopolitical violence the empire requires — or more often, to spend four to six years on a domestic base, leave honorably, and collect benefits for life.

The transaction is: the bottom 30% of the labor market gets a job and a permanent disability income stream. The empire gets a deniable proxy force for global operations and a domestic cultural protectorate that absorbs criticism of the empire’s choices.

The proxy state is the evangelical disney world.

The domestic version of the proxy state is the supporting-the-troops culture.

Both absorb the criticism that should land on the empire’s actual decision-makers.

The kitchen says: fuck the troops. Defund the VA. Make them use Kaiser Permanente.

Day 86. Day 26. Some empire. Some troops. Some heroes. Some welfare. Day 86. Day 26.
